COMPOSITION OF MATTER FOR THE TREATMENT OF LEATHER, FABRICS, AND THE LIKE.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, vDANIEL OKnnru, a citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented a new and useful Composition of Matter to be Used for the Treatmentof Leather, Fabrics, and the Like, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a composition of matter for the treatment of leather, fabrics, and the like, and consists of the following ingredients, combined in proportions stated Petroleum oil e- 37% Fish oil 30% Bay oil 2% (edar oil 3% Mirbane oil 6% Mustard oil 3% Venice turpentine 18% .Azalea oil 1% Total "100",,

These ingredients are to be thoroughly mixed.

My composition is useful for the treatmeat of leather to render it pliable and waterproof and increasing the tensile strength ofthe same and renders the leather so treated non-intlammable, and it. is useful.

in applying/it to furs on the flesh side of the skin, thus preventing the hairytrom falling out, and it is also a germicidal agent. It is useful in applying it to any fabric to render the same pliable and waterproof, and it also may be used on any surface, whether Wood, stone, leather or fabric, which contains pores which are not sealed with any other material, and it renders the substance so treated practically imperiiom 5 substantially the.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 614,009.

agreeable'odor, is non-poisonous and noninflammable, and it can be applied to any fabric or material and renders the same practically impervious to moisture; and, as heretofore stated, from the'inimerous tests that I have made with my composition, it increases the strength of all fabrics to which I have applied it. I have furthermore found out that my composition does not vaporize when subjected to atmospheric conditions or influences.

My composition is prepared without the agency of calorific energies, thus preserving in the composition all the merits of each individual ingredient, and while my composi tion is, as it were, mechanically mixed, I fully believe, with my knowledge of chemistry. that the composition is chemically combined, for the reason that the comp0si-.

tion does not show any stratification or any precipitation of the various ingredients composing the compound unde' all natural conditions of time, heat, cold and agitation.

Tn a companion application, filed by me March 13, 1911, Serial No. 614,008, I have claimed the process by which I make my con'iposition of matter, and such process is not claimed herein.

The essential ingredients of my composition are the petroleum oil, fish oil, cedar oil, mirhnne oil and Venice. turpentine. The bay oil and mustard oil intensify the action of the previously named ingredients, and the addition ol amilea oil destroys the extremely unpleasant odors of some of the ingredients of the composition.
